Lines: 16 I really like your idea. If you combine that with full track cacheing you'd have something. The only problem is that: 1. it only works for floppies -- people are moving to hard drives 2. Getting people to convert will be difficult unless you can convince all the non-hard drive people to convert. Of course, when they can affort hard drives they'll switch to the FFS. It does make for a very interesting project. Possibly a good project that could get yourself published in the ACM and get some people thinking about file systems that aren't sector based. -Tom -- Tom Limoncelli Drew University Madison NJ 201-408-5389 tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet limonce@pilot.njin.net "Fences make good neighbors" -Frost "I want an MMU" -Me Standard disclaimer?
